It's standard.  Only SunOS 4.x came with the K&R cc.  SunOS 5.x simply
doesn't come with one, since there's no inherent need for it.  It's not
so different from now, if you think in the right terms.  The standard
compiler has always cost extra; you just used to be able to get away
with using the kernel compiler if your code was limited enough. :)
